Morris Mwendwa and other boys left the home on Thursday night

- One minute, Morris Mwendwa was a dirty, smelly street boy sharing about his life. The next minute, he became a celebrity giving media interviews and even meeting the Chief Justice of Kenya. A group called the Homeless of Nairobi took him in and promised to provide food, shelter, clothing, an education and love

- On Easter weekend 2016, a video surfaced. Mwendwa was back on the streets of Nairobi looking intoxicated. He alleged that the home that houses him is too strict and Kenyans were very quick to demonize, victimize, judge, curse and criticise the developments in Mwendwa's life

- After a night out on the streets, fortunately, Mwendwa is now back home with his caregivers. A simple family argument had been turned into national news. A lesson Kenyans should learn: that it is hard work to rehabilitate street kids, to break them out of the life they have been accustomed to. That it takes time, love and a lot of patience

- TUKO.co.ke spoke to Shamit Patel - co-founder and Sam Gichuru - supporter of Homeless of Nairobi about the latest incident with Mwendwa

In the video, Mwendwa was back on the street. He looked intoxicated. In the interview with an unknown male - as he is heard asking questions - Mwendwa is seen in the company of a group of boys. He kept losing his patience, even walking away in anger several times.

The video was posted online and suddenly, Kenyans were informed that Mwendwa had escaped from his new home. And word spread like bushfire that Mwendwa, was back on the harsh streets of Nairobi. Damn!

It is alleged, Mwendwa could not adopt to his new home in Gachie, where he had been taken by the Homeless of Nairobi. In the video, he also claims that he is not housed by Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko.

So what is going on? TUKO.co.ke spoke to the people behind Homeless of Nairobi and the ones running the home in Gachie where Mwendwa lives.

Reactions from Kenyans about Mwendwa going back to the streets were mixed. Some people were shocked - as expected. Others were very critical of the teenager. Then others were more sympathetic of the whole situation. According to the home, this is what happened...

Shamit Patel, the co-founder of Homeless of Nairobi has confirmed to TUKO.co.ke that indeed Mwendwa and some other boys ran away from the home but he is now safely back home.

Patel says the children including Mwendwa are used to the freedom in the streets and that is the reason they ran away away, and not because the conditions at the home were difficult.

According to Patel, the video of Mwendwa drunk has done more damage than good, not just to the Homeless of Nairobi, but to the home accommodating them as well. Patel says it is about time Kenyans addressed the plight of the homeless in Kenya.

Patel says they have been running the home located in Gachie for one and a half years together with a group of volunteers and well wishers.

It is not known who recorded Mwendwa at his most vulnerable moment. Patel says he is disappointed, but not angry with the people who recorded Mwendwa.

Patel adds that the story of Mwendwa should be an example of what it means to rehabilitate a person who has known his/her home as the streets. Despite the hiccup, Mwendwa and the others will continue to get education and the basics.

Sam Gichuru, a supporter of the Homeless of Nairobi says like any 15-year-old street child who has been abused and rejected and struggling with a drug addiction, Mwendwa will need time to adopt to his new home.
